I initially met Ian at my cousin Travis' wedding in Gettysburg a few years ago. It was such a bitter sweet weekend, having learned of his sickness but he was certain not to let that be the focus. Ian stayed very positive and was so inspiring. I didn't know him well but I am sure he is loved by many and is free of any pain in a better place. RIP Ian!

in one of the stars I shall be living/ in one of them I shall be laughing/in one of them I shall be sparkling/....and so it will be as if all of the stars are doing the same at night when you look up at the sky!!!!

....and there is sweetness in the laughter of all of the stars and in the memories of all of the lives that you have touched!!!!!

Ian is truly sleeping with ANGELS!!!

Godspeed!!!!! JanetRose Close--Tommy Albright , Amber Close, Rosie and Jimi

I worked with Ian briefly at McCafferty and anytime our paths crossed we always had a smile or a laugh exchange. Sad to hear that he is gone but glad that his pain is now gone. God bless the family he left behind.

To all of Ian's family, my sincere sympathy. I met Ian through my son Ryan Young and their friendship. From the moment we met,and saw his smile and genuine personality, I knew Ryan was very fortunate
to have Ian for a friend. I know Ryan feels the lose profoundly, and will experience the first loss of a true friend, yet he knows he is better because of the friendship. So I as a Mother say thank you to all of you, for raising such a remarkable young man. He made a lasting impression on me and I share your sorrow.
In sympathy and friendship,
Pattie Young Roberts

Ian always gave a wonderful gift each time we were with him - the gift of himself.  We always found good things to talk about and share together when we were at those inter-extended family events.  We will miss him.  I know he would be pleased that I am honoring the celebration of his life tomorrow by spending time and having fun with the nephew he adored.

We always felt safe with an angel next door.Goodbye sweet Ian. Tommy, Amber, Rosie, and Jimi.

Ian was a precious young man and a true gift from God.  His powerful Christian faith and love poured out to all he met and knew.  God's kingdom has received an amazing Angel.  I look forward to seeing him again in Heaven!

I am so proud of you big brother. You shared the love of Jesus with everyone. You were the truest example of a warrior in the face of great adversity. You were the greatest big brother. Even though you were wild and adventurous, you were so gentle with me. You treated me like gold. You will always be my big brother, our separation is only temporary. I am so glad you are in the presence of God, enjoying more than we ever wanted or could imagine for you. I will miss you every single day for the rest of my life on earth. When God calls my name to come home, I will run to give you the biggest hug. I can't wait to see your smile and dimples again. I can't wait to hear that giggle and you call me "Nanny". I love you big brother - now and for eternity.

Patrick and family - Very sorry to hear about the loss of your brother Ian.  Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank you, Ian, for being a wonderful brother. You are so sorely missed. You fought so very hard. We are so proud of you and your ministry here on earth. We will continue your legacy of spreading the beautiful love of Jesus to everyone we meet. Love, Your Big Sister

I adored Ian and so admired his strength and perseverance.  I will really miss him.  It was an honor to care for him at the Med Center.

Ian was a Beautiful Soul, I am Blessed to have know this Angel among us. Rest comfortably now in the arms of the Lord and watch over us all Ian we will miss you! Love, Prayers and Sympathy to your Family.

What a wonderful person...Our family was so blessed to have him come in to visit my Great Niece at the Hershey Medical Children's hospital to talk to her and our family......He and his smile and courage will be greatly missed by many. May God bless him and his family and everyone that knew him.

Your son and brother was such a true and wonderful friend to my son Chuck, he will be dearly missed. My prayers to your entire family and Ian's friends.
